Amazing Spooky/Strange Podcast

I have been searching for more podcasts that are paranormal, supernatural, and spooky that cover urban legends, lore, and encounters with the unexplained (as well as explaining more about the history behind such), and Freaky Folklore is definitely one of my favorites! For me, it's the kind of podcast I love to dim or turn off the lights, or light a candle, to listen to and imagine myself possibly encountering something so strange to ask myself what my reaction would really be in whatever situation it is. Definitely worth listening to!

All around just good

This podcast is good and rather creepy
It is done well but not overdone and cheesy
As well as she doesn’t push any supernatural beliefs on anyone
Using words like alleged and the like

Great find

I recently found this and I really enjoy it, especially love listening to it while going on long hikes are my night walks. Hope to get more Asian monster collection episodes as well as Mexican/ South American monsters.

fun but room for improvement

at one point it specifically mentioned no cell service in the house, later a character texts from the house and gets an immediate response. just a funny little continuity error but I'm looking forward to seeing this podcast improve in the future.
